      Audience Member A good adaption that keeps to the book with little creative additions, modernised well enough to the time it was filmed from the 50's based novel. 6 episodes in the classic BBC half hour slot style, like the classic Doctor Who serries of old, which can make it feel slow but it suits a purist like me who enjoys reading the novel as it gets in a great amount of the original details. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member While more serious and closer in tone to the book than the 1960s version, it's just as dull, which leads me to suspect it's the source material I don't like. It's a story that gives bizarrely little focus on the fact it has giant man-eating plants in it. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Watched it at home the word for me is brilliant. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Quite Freaky. Even More-so When You Realise These Plants CAN Actually Move! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member A movie about nature's revenge. This time with triffids theat came wild and reminding octopuses kill or blinding people Can rate it above R15 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Best version I've seen, the opening titles used to creep me out as a child. Leak soup anyone? Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
